Prediction
Clemson’s poor start in the season opener against Georgia is ancient history at this point in the season and since that loss, they have been nearly perfect. They have won their 5 ACC games by an average of 23.6 points per game. Further, their defense has generally played well and their opponents tend to do most of their scoring in garbage time when the Tigers are already of multiple scores.
As for Louisville, they have been somewhat inconsistent this season. Just this past week, the Cardinals were losing to Boston College 20-0 and then 27-10. They managed to come back to win that game, but Clemson will be a much tougher test. Simply put, Clemson has been dominant in ACC play, therefore we will be backing them to cover in this game on Saturday night.
Final Pick
Clemson Tigers -9.5 Alternate Spread (-133)
